Juventus are looking to bolster their defence after being heavily linked with Cruzeiro defender Dede.

After failing in their attempts to land Matija Nastasic from Manchester City on a loan deal, the Bianconeri have focused their attentions into bringing the Brazilian centerback to Turin.

Tuttosport reports that the 26-year-old has also been linked to AC Milan in the recent past and has now become the Old Lady’s primary target despite also being interest in Colombian defender Eder Balanta who plies his trade in Argentina with River Plate.

However the Bianconeri could face difficulties in getting Dede who is reportedly priced at more than €10 million.

Dede has scored two goals in 20 matches for the Brazilian club since joining from Vasco da Gama in 2013.
